and is making some positive progress in this area. He is a hard
worker at school and has improved his reading skill significantly

Liberty and William are energetic and
physically active youth. They are hardworking children who have
persevered through obstacles in their life. William is the
outspoken child while Liberty is more reserved. Both children are
quite competitive and love participating in various sport
activities. They also love attending church and the Boy and Girls
Club. Liberty and William are also competitive with one another but
their bond towards each other is quite evident to anyone that meets
them. Liberty is the older sibling and feels it is her duty to
protect her younger brother. She is also compassionate and loves to
help her peers who may be struggling. Liberty does not like to be
perceived as weak. She often acts confident and strong but inside
lacks confidence and needs assistance building her self-esteem.
William on the other hand is quite confident, strong minded, and
determined. These two siblings are the perfect balance. William and
Liberty have an inseparable bond and are eager to share their love
with a forever family.

William would love to be placed in a two parent
home but is open to a single parent if they are physically active
in activities in the community. He desires to be placed with a
family who will be committed to keeping him and his sister
together. He would also like a family who is open to her
maintaining contact with her sibling who is not part of this
adoption. William will do best with a family who is structured and
consistent. The family will need to be an advocate for him, provide
positive reinforcement, unconditional love, exercise patience, and
be supportive.
